Prior to closing for the Christmas celebrations, my son went to one of his department workers, a Muslim, and wished him, “As-Salamu Alaykum,” which means “The peace be with you.” The man, in turn, took a hold of Scott’s hand, smiled and said, “A merry Christmas to you.” Scott said he was moved to tears, as we all were, to hear of this blessed exchange.
Let’s hope for a new beginning in 2016 that will lead to “a wonderful life,” with peace on Earth for all mankind.
God bless us, every one.
